Abstract

We present initial results on a WDM compatible spectrally phase encoded optical CDMA (OCDMA) system that uses 16 phase-locked laser lines within an 80-GHz tunable window and an ultrahigh frequency resolution encoder/decoder. The described system differs from conventional OCDMA systems by independently phase encoding individual spectral line of a mode locked laser (MLL). We report here novel properties of phase codes and we also demonstrate compatibility of the proposed OCDMA system with conventional WDM networking by simultaneous transmission of two 2.5 Gb/s OCDMA users in one DWDM window along with six DWDM channels in other DWDM windows through a transparent reconfigurable network having 25 km node spacing.
